You just need the number off the bottom line... ignore top line of 4 digits.

I had to fill in my V5 today to get the number changed! swapped the engine over nearly 2 years ago, but never got round to changing the engine number.

My car has to have a DVLA inspection next week, so i thought i had better get the paperwork in order....

you'll probably need a bit of wet 'n' dry to clean up the number...
